During World War II, Wroclaw was the German city of Breslau. It saw heavy fighting and widespread destruction, coming under heavy Soviet bombardment before Germany’s surrender.
The city became part of Poland when borders were redrawn after the war, with the defeated Germany forced to give up territory.
